Answer 1

Dear editor,

I’m Li Hua, a student of Yu Ying Middle School. My schoolmates and I had a few sleepless nights since the terrible earthquake happened in Sichuan Province.

Shocked by the great loss and concerned about the rescue work in the stricken area, we watched through our tears the news report every evening. Without hesitation, we donated all the pocket money we had and then on the weekend we took to the street to sell newspapers so as to collect more. Some schoolmates even couldn’t help writing to newspapers and the Internet to express their grief. Later, on May 19, teachers and students in our school, together with people all over the country, observed three minutes’ silence to mourn over the victims. At the very moment I realized a truth: Brave, strong and united, we Chinese will never give in to any disaster and we are sure to rebuild our hometown and regain our happiness!

                                                                         Yours,

                                                                               Li Hua
